Chapter 1: That costs an arm and a paw

Just when you thought that you couldn't love me anymore than you already do… I go and do something stupid… like screwing around in Ansem's lab. Now look at me… I smell like a dog, and I'm furry.

Yes. That's right. Furry. Damn, Riku. Way to go.

Wondering what I'm babbling about? Well, I'll tell you. It was a beautiful rainy day. You know those days that are all gloomy, and can't go anywhere because of the fear of the flu or whatever it is this year, and you can't call your friends because they're all at school and your at home because you went out on such a rainy day and caught the flu?

Yeah. One of those days.

So I was entertaining myself by thinking of things to do to entertain myself, when that crazy man downstairs blew something up… for, like, the eighth time this week. And of course me being the naturally curious boy that I am… I went downstairs to investigate.

I quickly ran out the door of my cozy room, put my jacket on and head downstairs, sneezing various times.

I reached the cellar where he presides. Without thinking, I turned the doorknob and the door swung open.

"Hmm. I've never been down here before."

I looked around the dusty room. There was different lab equipment here and there. Then I saw something that caught my eye. A very, very, very blue liquid in a bottle. I picked the bottle up and swirled the liquid around.

Did I mention how curious I am?

Just looking at the liquid made me think of how delicious it must have smelled. So I sniffed it. And sniffing it made me think of how delicious it must have tasted. So, I looked around to make sure Crazy Man wasn't around and I took a sip… then another sip… and another… Ooops, before I realized what I was doing I had drank the entire bottle. Crap.

The room started to spin and I decided that I was a bit feverish and I made my way back upstairs.

When I reached my cozy room, I snuggled under my warm blanket. The room seemed a little… dull. Like, dull in color. The once so vibrant silver of my T.V. was now a very ugly shade of grayish. I didn't think too much about it and dozed off.

I awoke hours later and rolled off my bed very lazily. I yawned a gigantic yawn, stretched, and shook.

Wait. Shook…?

I hadn't realized till then, but shaking felt very… good. Like after you get out of a car when you've been in it for hours.

I did it again. Aaah… then I stretch some more and yawn again. That's good… Sorry.

Then I heard something. My ears perked up and I stood at attention looking at my bedroom door. The sound was preceded by a very uncomfortable itchy sensation behind my ear. I instinctively lift my leg and start to scratch furiously at my head.

And my foot… is now a paw. A giant paw… with claws.

If you were to come into my room at this exact moment… you'd see a big fluffy, white dog with it's foot- er, paw- in mid-air. Like a freeze frame picture of a dog that is about to scratch behind it's ear.

I walk over to my grayish T.V. to catch a reflection. It was hard but I could faintly see a big furry dog with its tongue hanging out staring back at me.

No!

I found myself saying. The word, of course, came out as a bark.

"A dog?" I heard someone say in the other room.

I walk over to my door to try to see what I could hear. The person smelled of perfume… My brain was racing.

Female. Familiar. Not Mom. Kairi.

I concluded.

"I didn't know Riku had a dog…" She said.

What are you doing in my house?

I said, but of course… it came out as a series of barks and growls.

Kairi walked over to my bedroom door. She peered through the crack at me.

"There you are."

She opened the door and I just sat there, like a dog.

"You're so big. How'd Riku keep you secret?"

I just looked at her, but obviously that just made her want to pet me. She walked closer and put her hand on my big fluffy head. I would've bitten her… but, she started to scratch behind my ear. And before I knew it… I was lying on the floor with my leg twitching wildly.

"That's so cute!" she said as my tail went 180 mph on the floor.

She stood up and went rambling about my room.

What the hell are you doing in my room?

I barked angrily at her. She turned and looked at me.

"Aw… c'mon. You really don't want to bite me, do you?"

Like hell I do!

I barked at her. She stepped closer. I growled. She crept a little closer. I growled louder. She was about a foot in front of me and my shiny teeth were bared. She crept around me towards the door very slowly and I followed her out my bedroom.

"Nice dog. I'll leave." She said as she fumbled for the doorknob and hastily left my house. I felt good. I had just succeeded in driving a person out of my house! I ran around my house until a delicious smell floated across my snout. I followed it out the door of my house that Kairi had so conveniently left open.

And I was unleashed out into the world! Except for the fact of that damn itch.

-Scratch Scratch-

I shake and it still feels good.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Aw… A Riku-dog. That's so cute! That reminds me of the anime called 'Kino's Journey'. There was an episode or two with a big white fluffy husky dog named Riku. Only he could talk. Go figure. Anyways, Riku would make a cute dog or wolf or even a cute little fox. A cute little arctic fox. That would be adorable. Alright, shutting up now…
